#AFRICAGUA2019
The Government of the Canary Islands, together with the Official Chamber
of Commerce, Industry, Services and Navigation of Fuerteventura, Casa
África, and Council of Fuerteventura organise a new edition of
AFRICAGUA, an international business event focused on promoting
initiatives related to Water and Renewable Energies in West Africa. Among
the visitors to this edition are institutions, organisations and companies
from Senegal, Cape Verde, Morocco, Mauritania, Guinea Bissau, Guinea
Conakry, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Azores and Madeira, the rest of the
Canary Islands, Spanish mainland, etc. New this year, we have expanded the
participation to new countries that are global benchmarks in terms of
renewable energy such as Costa Rica.
This meeting will be held on 13 and 14 November 2019, at the Palacio de
Formación y Congresos de Fuerteventura (Canary Islands).
During these days, the Island will become a meeting point for African, European and American companies and institutions, where they will be able to share experiences and success stories. It will be the perfect exhibition frame where all the governmental and business organisations linked to green energies come together, and where the business sector presents its products and innovations. In addition to companies, investors and policymakers, we have invited international bodies such as the European Commission, the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREE), the National Electricity Office, the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), and the National Office for Electricity and Potable Water (ONEE), as well as other international bodies.

How has Africagua succeeded in its consolidation and
becoming an international benchmark?
Africagua contributes to the internationalisation process of Canarian
economy by making it possible to show the great potential in knowledge,
experience and know-how in renewable energies and water treatment that
companies in this archipelago have. It has also been established as a
benchmark within the strategy of the Canarian Government to convert the
Canary Islands into a Hub towards Africa for Canarian, national, European
and American companies.
In this context, this event has become an effective instrument with a full programme of conferences for companies to take the leap into the African market, fostering collaboration between companies from the water and renewable energy sectors of the different participating countries, sharing experiences, success stories, and establishing strategic alliances. Within the renewable energy and water sector, all these factors make Africagua one of the Canary Islands Networking events with the greatest international impact for both the public and private sectors.
Africagua would not be possible without the collaboration and involvement of: - Canary Islands Government, Council of Fuerteventura, Casa África, Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Services and Navigation, Proexca, ITC, etc. Other organisations present in previous editions: -European Commission, World Bank, African Development Bank, United Nations, Rockefeller Group, Washington Economic and Trade Office, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, Compañía Española de Financiación del Desarrollo y la Sostenibilidad (COFIDES), Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI)...

Our Mission...
Africagua was born with the aim of connecting the world with Africa

This continent, rich in natural resources, seeks to create value in order to
foster wealth and sustainable development while respecting ecosystems.
Our aim is to turn the Canary Islands into a strategic point of business and
commercial relations with Africa, promoting opportunities in African
countries, contributing to the economic growth of those countries, thus
improving the environment and quality of life of its inhabitants.
